Embodiment Construction

[0035] The present invention is described herein with reference to a particular example. The invention is not, however, limited to such an example. In particular, the invention is described with relation to an implementation of location services (LCS) in a GERAN architecture.

[0036] Referring to FIG. 1, there is illustrated the general arrangement of a GERAN LCS architecture for implementing locations services, as defined in 3G TS 25.305. FIG. 1 illustrates, generally, the interconnection of the clients and servers in the core network with the GERAN.

[0037] The network architecture includes, as shown in FIG. 1, two base stations (BS), 102 and 104. The base stations represent the access points of the mobile network to mobile stations (MS). In the example of FIG. 2 a single MS 106 is shown, in radio communication with BS 102. BS 102 is connected to a base station controller (BSC) 108 via an Abis interface. BS 104 is connected to a base station controller (BSC) 110 via an Abis interface....

Abstract

There is disclosed a mobile communication system including a plurality of cells each associated with a plurality of radio access points, and at least one mobile user connected in one cell via a radio access point, the system further including a network element associated with said plurality of cells for maintaining a neighbour list for location position determination of the mobile user, the network element including: means for generating an initial neighbour list, comprising the identity of those radio access points determined to be neighbouring the radio access point with which the mobile user is connected; means for temporarily including a candidate neighbour in the neighbour list, comprising the identity of a radio access point determined to be a potential neighbour of the radio access point with which the mobile user is connected; means for collecting measurement reports for each neighbour in the neighbour list, including the candidate neighbour; means for comparing the measurement reports for each neighbour; and means for adding the candidate neighbour to the neighbour list if measurement reports for the candidate neighbour determine that the candidate neighbour is a neighbour of the radio access point, and thereby automatically maintaining a location services neighbour list for a mobile user.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to the provision of correct configuration parameters, such as neighbour lists for the purpose of location positioning in a mobile telecommunications network.BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION[0002] Recently, communication networks have widely spread and are used by a continuously increasing number of subscribers. In order to cope with the challenges of providing multiple services with adequate quality for the subscribers with a limited network capacity, communication networks have to be very carefully planned in order the network can be operated smoothly while meeting all requirements of the subscribers.[0003] Mobile telecommunications systems also utilize applications, which are dependent upon the current location of a mobile station (MS) or user equipment (UE) in the network. The network, or external applications connected to the MS or MS through the network, provides services to the MS or MS in dependence upon the current location.[0004] One example ...
